Thirty three children with associative forms of thick-borne infection (thick-borne encephalitis with ixodic borreliosis) were clinically observed. The disease was characterized by subfebrile temperature, moderate intoxication, rare erythema (39.5%) and frequent cardiovascular disorders with development of Lyme carditis (32.6 +/- 7.2%) and further rise of hepatomegalia in the diseases dynamics and development of meningeal symptoms. There were observed changes in the cytokine spectrum, characterized by INF-gamma high levels, and hypersecretion of the whole spectrum cytokines in the dynamics, that provided the Th2 type immune response. High clinicoimmunological efficacy of the complex therapy with cycloferon as an immunomodulator providing more balanced production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1alpha, INF-gamma and IL-10) was shown.

Acute aerobic exercise enhances associative learning in regular exercisers but not in non-regular exercisers.

Introduction: Physical exercise has repeatedly been reported to have advantageous effects on brain functions, including learning and memory formation. However, objective tools to measure such effects are often lacking. Eyeblink conditioning is a well-characterized method for studying the neural basis of associative learning.

Religious beliefs can shape how people process fear. Yet the psychophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. We investigated fear learning and extinction processes in a group of individuals who professed a belief in God, compared to non-believers.

It has become widely accepted that standard connectionist models are unable to show identity-based relational reasoning that requires universal generalization. The purpose of this brief report is to show how one of the simplest forms of such models, feed-forward auto-associative networks, satisfies two of the most well-known challenges: universal generalization of the identity function and the reduplication rule. Given the simplicity of the modeling account provided, along with the clarity of the evidence, these demonstrations invite a shift in this high-profile debate over the nature of cognitive architecture and point to a way to bridge some of the presumed gulf between characteristically symbolic forms of reasoning and connectionist mechanisms.

To study the enhancement effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the splitting tensile properties of foamed concrete backfill in which cement and fly ash were used as the cementitious materials and natural sand was used as the aggregate, specimens of CNT-modified foamed concrete backfill were prepared. Brazilian splitting tests were used to investigate the splitting tensile strength of the CNT-modified foamed concrete backfill, and the digital speckle correlation method was used to analyze the stress field characteristics and crack expansion law of the specimens during splitting tensile testing. The stress-strain characteristics and energy dissipation laws of the backfill were studied at various static loading rates, and a relationship between the splitting tensile strength, ultimate strain, and loading rate was established.
